GENERAL PARKING

Parking is $10 per day or $20 for the full event. You can only purchase a General Parking Pass at the event (no online sales). Cash is the only accepted form of payment.

HANDICAPPED PARKING

If you have a state issued handicap sticker or card, you must still enter General Parking through Winnebago County Park. After purchasing your parking pass, you will be directed to the correct lot. Wheelchair guests will be on grounds in Lot W, all other guests will be in a designated lot in the Winnebago County Park.

OVERNIGHT PARKING

There is no overnight parking allowed at the Winnebago County Park. If you are camping and need to park your vehicle overnight, you must purchase an Overflow Parking Pass available online or at the event for $20. This pass will allow you to park in the East Lot and in some camping areas (look for signs “Permit Parking Only”).

If camping doesn’t suit you, other lodging options that offer special prices for Lifest attendees are listed above. You may also visit the Oshkosh Convention and Visitors Bureau website for hotel and lodging information.

Grandstand has two premium seating options: Reserved and On Stage. If you purchase these items, you do not need to bring a chair to Lifest. See the Premium Seating page for more info.

If you decide not to purchase premium seating, you will want to bring a blanket or chair for the Grandstand field. Chairs may be placed at approximately 8:00 am each morning (after the Grounds crew has done their morning clean-up). You may not leave your chairs or blankets set up overnight; they will be removed. Please do not bring chairs with umbrellas or anything that will block your neighbor’s view. Chairs should be placed within the painted lines so that aisles remain clear. If a canopy tent is needed for medical reasons, you must place it behind all the chairs so you do not obstruct anyone else’s view. If you are bringing a tarp, you are limited to one tarp that is no larger than 8’ x 10’.

Cafe, KidZone, Garage and Oasis provide folding chairs for seating. The Edge Stage is made for dancing and jumping so no chairs are provided here, but there are bleachers along the edge of the venue.

NOT ALLOWED – Alcohol, illegal drugs, firearms, weapons, or any item that resembles a weapon or firearm (including personal paint ball guns) or fireworks. Items will be confiscated and will not be returned. Violators may be removed from the Lifest grounds without a refund. Any illegal activity will be reported to the proper authorities.
